But I needed party favors for…read moremy son's 1st birthday party, and after reading many good reviews and then seeing these at another birthday party, I decided to order 160 mini bags of their local style popcorn. Lance is very responsive, answered all of my (sometimes silly) questions, and expressed such gratitude for my order. It made me feel like he really valued my business. Now about the popcorn! The local style is SO good! The perfect combo of sweet kettle corn and the savory kakimochi and furikake. I also love that you can choose the colors you'd like the popcorn to be. We went with red and black to match my son's F1 birthday theme. I usually don't care for kettle corn because most I've had has been over coated and too sweet for my taste. But this one? I've already ate like 3 bags of the extras from the party. I also got multiple compliments from our guests on how good it was. It's actually so good, I plan on ordering more when we run out of our extras!

They're a small kiosk inside Pearlridge, right next to TJ Maxx. There's usually a few minute wait since the popcorn is made fresh to order and there's only one employee, but it's definitely worth the wait! So far I've only tried the volcano, which is a hurricane mix with kakimochi and furikake. The popcorn is always crisp and evenly buttered with the perfect kakimochi ratio. They have 3 size options - you'll want to get the large because they're so good you could finish half the bag in one sitting. I had a friend try some of my popcorn a few days later and was surprised with how fresh it still tasted! In his words he said it was "to die for" lol.

The kiosk is located at Pearlridge Shopping Center. Formally known as (Downtown) officially called Wai Makai. You can't miss the kiosk it's located in the middle of Champs and Mr. Cow. The blue lighted sign, bags of sweet popcorn and popcorn leis will definitely catch your attention. Support local, stop by today & get you a freshly popped popcorn today.

It is the absolute best. They have all sorts of flavors in the freezer to choose from too. And even non-dairy options. I still love my strawberry but there's other stuff. There are so many good treats here. I didn't think I even liked popcorn until I tasted some of the cool flavors here. Big fan of the pizza-related flavors. I think I did a ranch pizza mix and it was addictive. I can't remember all the flavors but things like curry, spicy pork, bacon korean flavor, furikake hurricane. I just wish I knew how to keep it fresh longer but Aloha Creamery popcorn made me realize I like popcorn. Then other treats like the prepackaged stuff on the side make good gifts too. Super friendly service and makes you want to come back over and over! It's a narrow shop and can feel crowded if there's a ton of people inside but it moves quickly so don't be afraid to wait if it looks crowded. It is worth it!

It was my first time visiting and I'm thankful I did as I was able to select from a variety of popcorn flavors and combinations.

I'm typically a classic kettle corn type of girl, so I purchased a medium size kettle and I also got the Japanese matcha combo! This one has matcha powder, butter, furikake, and kaki mochi. I can't wait to go back to try the Volcano flavor! I want to highlight the associate, Redie (or Ready, I need to ask for her name spelling again!). She was so incredible patient, generous, and kind.

Leah later emailed me saying she couldn't contact me cause her wallet and phone were stolen. At first she told me she would give me a credit to use it for a future event (as if I wanted to book her again after a no show) so I told Leah I wanted my money back. After constant messaging, she finally decided she was going to give back my money at the end of May. It's June, and I still haven't gotten our money back. I had the benefit of a doubt that her wallet and phone were actually stolen but recently saw other people comment on their instragram using the same excuse and not giving back their money! I wanted to support a local business, especially seeing their kids being involved in their business, but it makes me sad that they are taking advantage of us.

This time, I purchased 2 bags each of the chicken gizzards, beef hearts, and beef liver for my three dogs. The last time I purchased dog treats, my little indoor dog Sadie managed to climb on a chair and onto the dining table, open the plain "unmarked" brown bag of dog treats (as if she could read), chew into a ziploc bag containing the remainder of an open bag of chicken gizzards! My hubby said that I have to make sure that all of the chairs are pushed against the dining table so Sadie cannot use them to climb onto the dining table. I responded that he should train HIS dog (have you ever say that? YOUR child, or YOUR grandchild?) to not go onto the table. Sadie hasn't done that before! Now, Sadie is on two legs, begging, whenever anyone approaches THE NEW brown paper bag.
